Needs change over the years and so are garage doors

Needs change over the years and so things change too. Garage doors started out as simpler structures hinged to open outwards. The first garages were created as a shed for cars when vehicles were mass produced and owners didn’t want to park them near their smelly horses. But what owners soon discovered was that these structures were not stable. The hinges and screws were damaged fast under the pressure of the heavy door and daily movement. They also started having problems during the winter when the snow didn’t let them open the door. These needs led the way to the development of garage doors.

In 1921, the sectional garage doors were born. They soon had tracks, springs and most parts they still have today. Five years later, they became automatic with the invention of the first opener. At first the only material manufacturers used was wood. But it wasn’t cheap nor resistant to elements. The need for higher resistance led brands to use steel. But steel was a poor insulator. So they decided to use two layers of steel and create doors like sandwiches, but instead of cheese they put insulation materials between the panels. Soon brands discovered aluminum which doesn’t erode, vinyl, glass and composite materials.

The need for garage door repair services remains constant overtime
